PS…An Art Directors mind, Part 5 of 5
Anther couple of things….
The reproduction quality of the images in the magazine is great. There’s a beautiful sheen and sharpness, a vibrancy, to the images on the pages. Very impressive. Although the colour images look a tad better than the black and white I think. Well, under this non-scientific non-calibrated god-knows-what-kelvins light anyway.
I did receive an email from the picture editor late one night saying that the ‘publishing sample’ was arriving imminently from their publishers and if I wished to go across town to their office I could check the colours/reproduction etc of my 8 pages. I was told I could pop by the next day, but he also gave his mobile phone number in case I could only make it that night. Incredible huh ? how many magazines give you that chance? Alas, I couldn’t go due to other commitments, but nice to be asked, and it all looks great anyway.
And when they sent me my complimentary one copy of the mag it came in a very cool lime green envelope. Nice. Nicer even than JAL magazine’s red envelope.
